Hff!'Il'W107lj.' in zzjv1'0c'z1'. TI-IORNYH Horace is surely a sport. He is never happy unless spending the evening at a party or a dance. Of course, the attraction is obvious. He is emphatically not a woman hater. In keeping with these char- acteristics is his impractical mind. If you were to have a chat with him the thing impressing you lirst will be his artistic sense and taste. V In engineering Work he is a poor guesserg his mind cannot grasp the object of designing a thing throughout and then choosing something else by guess. He frankly admits that he has missed his profession. Surely we have all found out by this time that he was intended for an architect, interior decorator and landscape gardener. u In the drawing-roon'. of an afternoon his artistic nature hncls an outlet in snatches of the best operas execrably sung. 38

I FRANK D. STEER. .. ...Lausdaia Pa. CIVIL. Mcz1'riczge is a mminrg tlzirzgf' l S 'QIOINERH Here we- have a man of the world. Iiner Steer has been most everything, from an insurance solicitor to head clerk on a big railroad. He also studied mechanical engineering at Drexel several years ago. S' Steer didnlt look -like this picture when he first loomed on our horizon at the beginning of the Junior year. No! no! The rather promising mustache was absentg but he joined the Bean Drinkers' Club, and so, we imagine, he thought that soup-sifters would be a distinct advantage. . This is but one of the many clubs and lodges in which Winer Steer figures prominently. How he manages to lead poor, unsuspecting creatures across the hot sands, attend banquets, etc., etc., and still attend to school and domestic affairs is more than we can fathom. He is the other married man in our class. Mrs. Steer must be a most devoted and obliging wife. for , j'iner hands in typewritten reports and is a Notary Public. Steer can talk the fastest and keep the neatest held book. - VVe value him highly as one who can foretell our difficulties. He also serves as a sort of safety valve on the over-exuberant spirits of the Senior Civils. V 37'
